IBASIC Controller
Method #3. Developing Programs Using Word Processor on a PC (Least Preferred)
Sending ASCII Text Files Over RS-232 With
HyperTerminal
Set up the HyperTerminal emulator software on the PC as covered in
“Setting Up HyperTerminal on your PC (Windows Version 3.1)” on page
235. Load and run the ASCII_DN download program in the Test Set’s
IBASIC controller. When the prompt Ready to receive ASCII file
data is displayed on the Test Set, make the following settings in
HyperTerminal on the PC:
1. Select Settings.
2. Select Text Transfers.
3. Select Flow Control: Standard Flow Control.
4. Select Word Wrap Outgoing Text at Column: unselected.
• This will use Xon/Xoff flow control by default.
5. Select OK.
6. Select Transfers.
7. Select Send Text File.
8. Set Strip LF off and Append LF off. (It is important that the line
feeds that are in the ASCII file not be stripped or the file transfer
will not work).
9. Select or enter the file name to transfer.
10.Begin the transfer by selecting OK.
At this point, each line of the program will rapidly scroll across the
screen of the Test Set. When the transfer is finished, the prompt Down
load of ASCII file complete. will be displayed on the Test Set.
Before running the downloaded program, execute a SCRATCH
command on the IBASIC Command Line to remove the ASCII_DN
download program from Test Set memory.
Next, execute a GET TEMP_CODE command on the IBASIC Command
Line. This will load the ASCII text into the IBASIC program memory.
Finally, execute a RUN command on the IBASIC Command Line. This
will run the program. If any syntax errors are present in the program
IBASIC will generate the appropriate error messages.
